"What happens to your Firearms Prohibition Order if you get in trouble again?"

Illustration for Arms Bill

If you are sentenced by a court under certain circumstances described in section 289(1) or (2), and you already have a Firearms Prohibition Order (FPO) because of something you did before, the court can make some changes. The court can change the conditions of your current FPO, add new special conditions, or cancel your current FPO and make a new one. This means the court has some options to deal with your FPO if you are sentenced again.
